Stupid postal employees

Ray....
Might want to leave out the part about finding your mail in somebody's box other than yours.
Once you put up a mail box it becomes property of the post office and is federal property.
Besides the felony charge for that, you can be in trouble for violating the Privacy Act..... if they wanted to push back after you complain.

Accidentally had a box shipped to my old address (address forwarding in effect). Post office never forwarded it and the new tenant obviously kept the box. I even PAID for the forwarding service online. Makes you wonder what else is not being forwarded-kept-thrown away.

The only real guaranteed way for a postal employee to get fired is if they get caught stealing, and I mean caught red handed. The postal inspectors have lots of job security and could spend their entire career just chasing theft from mail cases. The local post master may or may not take an interest in your complaint. We both have our mail coming out of the same office south of 120th on Washington.

If it happens once or twice a month, it is likely a sub. If it happens more often, it is quite possible it is your regular carrier. Surprisingly, most long term carriers are competent and are a great source of information on what is going on in their neighborhoods.

If you get your mail on time more than 70% of the time, you are beating the odds for most government services. While the postal service is only quasi-government, their employees actually have better conditions than most federal employees and their union is a force to be reckoned with inside the postal service.

Consider a loop video camera focused on your mail box for a week or two. Review it to see if there is anything else going on, like kids messing with your mailbox.

Update. Still coming home to this scene several days a week. Might use some heavy duty springs to make some sort of self closing mechanism.

Amazon, choose super saver shipping, and it'll come in the mail via smartpost. Sometimes, at least.

I finally had to go pick up a package at my local post office today that was shipped 2 day last Monday, got to Aurora Wednesday morning and was scanned out for delivery that same day. After an email on their website, asking my carrier if it was on his truck twice, 2 calls to the national number and 3 more to the local post office where each time I gave them my name, tracking number and phone number to call back when they found it I got fed up and went down there to find it. Took them 20 minutes but they finally brought it out. On the phone they said it was a problem with the label, but it's on the box just fine with all the right info.

Aurora does this all the time. I had a box go into limbo, no tracking update for a week, found it in the Buckley/Alameda post office with some brazen lie about an address they couldn't figure out. It was a perfectly typed, clear and legible rendition of my address.
